Let's all admire Kwame's hand-made wedding outfit

My husband is as unconventional as I am, so I was not at all surprised when he decided to wear a tunic and sarong for our wedding. He occasionally wears sarongs, particularly during hot weather or for spiritual occasions where he wants to feel grounded and close to the earth. We had our ceremony in our back yard on June 23, so a sarong made sense. I made the sarong, as well as a tunic and necklace for him.

Kwame getting ready in his studio space while I was getting dressed next door.

He picked out the fabrics and beads and gave me a basic idea of what he wanted design-wise, and I went from there. I have to say I was pretty happy with how well it turned out.

I did a little beading on his tunic to emphasize the spirals in the pattern.

He also wore a set of bamboo fighting sticks that had belonged to his father who passed away when he was a teen.

His outfit went over surprisingly well. His brother was so impressed that he asked me to make him his own sarong and tunic, and my brother wanted to wear a sarong for the ceremony too. Must have been the sexy legs.

You did a beautiful job making your husband's outfit. It really shows your love for him and what is important to him. At the same time, my eyes kept going up and down your outfit! Tell us about your dress! And I love love love your toe ring anklet. I wish I could have a barefoot wedding! And of course also congratulations to many years of happiness and fun to come!

Gorgeous. All of it. Need to know where you fortunate people live to have your photos taken at the beach! A very talented woman you are! And a hubby that wears a sarong for his wedding outfit…raddest dude ever.

I am pleased to see that your man wore a sarong at your wedding, its been worn for years in the past in Hawaii and other cultures too. I wanted my man to wear a sash with a white pants and white shirt ( an Hawaiian tradition) but he would not do that for the wedding.He wore a Hawaiian shirt instead. Great wedding pictures!!
